Flowers or a gift?

I%26#039;m going to be meeting my future Mother-In-Law and I would like to get her something when I meet her. She and I have never met in the year and some months her son andI have been together. My fiancee is telling me she wouldn%26#039;t want anything but I feel like she deserves a little something. Should I get her anything? I was thinking a nice bouqet of flowers, but I have no idea what kind and if it were roses what color. Please help... he won%26#039;t give me any ideas and says if it%26#039;s that important to me I%26#039;ll figure it out. LOL

Flowers or a gift?
Rather than a bouquet of flowers, how about a basket of flowers? I would go for tulips or gerb daisies. In my opinion, I think roses stand for romance. When I visited my fiance%26#039;s mother (now mother-in-law), I gave her baked goods and a small basket of flowers. She displayed the basket in the living room and served the baked goods as dessert that night after dinner. Best of luck! =)

It was fun.
Reply:A nice bouquet is a great idea. Yellow roses are for friendship. Pink roses are for closer friends and those you admire, and are very feminine. Either, or a mix, would be appropriate. You could also do a pink or yellow bouquet with 2 red roses in the center symbolizing you and your boyfrind%26#039;s love, if you want to make it clear how you feel. I definitely would not show up empty handed.
Reply:Since you are going to be this ladies daughter in law you should maybe offer to take her out to dinner or lunch or something nice like that just you and her kind of to get to know her in person flowers are good and all but i think getting to know her will be a better present for her and for you and your boyfriend
Reply:You know what%26#039;s always a great thing for mums-in-law? Something you made that shows her you care and can take care for her son, cheesy as that sounds. :)





So: winter coming up, can you make cookies? Easy recipes on the net, everywhere. Make a few, wrap them up nicely and give them to her. She could put them on the table right away, which is a great start - you immediately have something to talk about. %26quot;Oh, did you make them yourself?%26quot; etc. It shows you thought about a little something to bring along, plus, mums like women who are capable of wifey stuff. Sounds lame, but secretly, they all do. ;)





Break a leg, you%26#039;ll do great.
Reply:Not roses! I don%26#039;t think anything is necessary, but it%26#039;s nice that you want to do something nice for her. How about a bunch of Mums? To show her that you look foward to having her as your mother in law.
Reply:FLOWERS..
Reply:Flowers are always a nice greeting but roses seem too intimate. Choose a bouguet that is indicative of the season you are meeting her and don%26#039;t be cheap. This is her first impression of you. Make it special.
Reply:It would be hard to do a present, because you don%26#039;t know her. Flowers would be nice. Don%26#039;t get roses--they%26#039;re a little too related to romantic things, I think. Go to a florist--NOT a supermarket or something. They%26#039;ll probably be able to put you together something really beautiful, although it will most likely be expensive.


If you do go to a supermarket because you don%26#039;t want to spend too much, get something like sunflowers. Avoid carnations.
